IAC Set to Open Kid Virtual Networking Site

IAC boss Barry Diller plans to go head-to-head with Disney's Club Penguin in the kids virtual world business. In one of its first moves since IAC's split into five different companies earlier this month, flagship IAC on Sept. 16 will launch its own virtual world aimed at tweens called ZwinkyCuties.com. IAC is no stranger to the virtual-world business. The portal is a spinoff of Zwinky.com, a two-year-old site aimed at teenagers that claims more than 16 million registered users globally and six million unique visitors per month.http://www.nypost.com/seven/08272008/business/diller_aims_young_126318.htm
